SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 7790 FEATURES

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has just introduced the first in a new family of products in its highly successful HD 7000 series of graphics cards. Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 is based on the latest chipset featuring the highly acclaimed graphics GCN (Graphics Core Next) architecture from AMD and sets a new standard for performance in mainstream graphics."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 is the first product in a new family featuring the latest GPU architecture from AMD. It has 1GB of the latest DDR5 memory with core clocks of 1000MHz and memory clocks of 1500MHz (6 GB/s effective) to deliver new levels of performance in its price segment. Performance is optimised with the latest version of AMD's PowerTune technology."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has DisplayPort 1.2 doubling the effective bandwidth of previous DisplayPort implementations, DisplayPort 1.2 now includes support for Multi-Stream, allowing you to drive up to four separate monitors from a single DisplayPort 1.2 connector (requires DP1.2 monitors or Multi-Stream compatible hub), Stereoscopic 3D monitor support and adds support for high quality, lossless, 7.1 channel audio formats."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has AMD Stream Technology which Accelerate the most demanding applications with AMD Stream technology and do more with your PC. AMD Stream Technology allows you to use the teraflops of compute power locked up in your graphics processer on tasks other than traditional graphics such as video encoding, at which the graphics processor is many, many times faster than using the CPU alone."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has AMD CrossFireX Multi-GPU Technology which Triple or Quadruple gaming power with AMD CrossFireX Multi-GPU Technology.AMD CrossFireX technology supports up to four graphics cards to be used in a single system."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has AMD HD3D Technology to enjoy the most immersive experience possible with full support for High Definition Stereoscopic 3D, a technique that presents 2D images (movies, games, photos) in a format that creates the illusion of three-dimensional depth when using compatible 3D displays, glasses and software."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has 28 nm GCN (Graphic Core Next) Architecture the new and 28nm GCN Architecture with more efficient process technology puts more transistors in less space, enabling a dramatic increase in Processing Power. Crank the settings, devastate your enemies and bear witness to absurdly high frame rates with AMD Radeon HD7000 series graphics card-DirectX 11 has never looked this good. Maximum setting and crazy performance shouldn't be a compromise. AMD Radeon HD7900 Series with the new 28 nm GCN Architecture assures that it's not."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has PCI Express 3.0 delivers double the bandwidth per lane of PCIe Gen 2 for faster GPU (GPU communication-up to 16GB/sec in each direction), maximizing the performance from your GPU when paired with the latest platforms."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has AMD Eyefinity 2.0 for next generation of AMD Eyefinity technology is here, featuring all-new support for stereo 3D, universal bezel compensation and brand new display configurations. Face it: the best just got better: The enhancements for AMD Radeon HD7000 series include: Stereo 3D-multi-display stereoscopic 3D support via DisplayPort 16K X 16K maximum display group resolution-output up to 268 megapixels per GPU."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has Shader Model 5.0 support with latest Shader Model 5.0 feature set including VTF (Vertex Texture Fetch) which is a key feature used extensively in many of the games that ship today. Without support for this feature the game will fall back to a lesser shader path resulting in the loss of cool, lifelike effects made possible by Shader Model 5.0."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has OpenGL 4.2 improves the GPU efficiency by improving the shader process operation and capturing GPU tessellated geometry. The process of modifying an arbitrary subset of compress texture is also simplified. The memory management in handling shaders is more efficient."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 with Windows 7 support Certified drivers and logos are available for all Sapphire HD2000, HD3000, HD4000 and HD5000 series cards ensuring compatibility and reliability with Microsoft Windows 7."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has AMD App Acceleration is a set of technologies designed to improve video quality and enhance application performance. Full enablement of some features requires support for OpenCL, DirectCompute or DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA)."

"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 has AMD HD Media Accelerator has been designed to help optimize and improve video playback on your computer by taking advantage of hardware video acceleration from your AMD Radeon GPU. With full 3D stereoscopic decode you can enjoy it all in 3D. AMD HD Media Accelerator speeds up the decode of one 1080p and one 1080i HD video streams simultaneously by hardware, and the new hardware encodes/transcoder processes your media content faster!"
